  • Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 32 Bit!
    Welcome to Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 32 Bit! What is Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7? Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 is a full replacement for Microsoft©s Windows and Macintosh©s Mac OS for any Intel based PC. Of course we recommend you check the system requirements first to make sure your computer meets our standards. The 64 bit version of Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 works faster than the 32 bit version on a 64 bit PC however the 32 bit version has support for Frets On Fire and a few other 32 bit applications that won©t run on 64 bit. We have worked hard to make sure that you can justify using 64 bit without sacrificing too much compatibility. I would say that Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 64 bit is compatible with 99.9% of all the GNU/Linux applications out there that will work with Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 32 bit. Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 is based on Ubuntu 8.04 but includes KDE 3.5 as the default interface and has the Mac4Lin Gnome interface for Mac users. What is Different Than Windows and Mac? You see with Microsoft©s Windows OS you have to defragment your computer, use an anti-virus, and run chkdsk or a check disk manually or automatically once every 3 months in order to maintain a normal Microsoft Windows environment. With Macintosh©s Mac OS you don©t have to worry about fragmentation but you do have to worry about some viruses and you still should do a check disk on your system every once in a while or whatever is equivalent to that in Microsoft©s Windows OS.

  • Operação Livre - Análise Do Documentário Revolution OS" E Um Pequeno Paralelo Entre O Linux E O Windows
    "Operação Livre - Análise do Documentário Revolution OS" e um pequeno paralelo entre o Linux e o Windows Com o embasamento teórico do documentário Revolution OS de J.T.S. Moore é feita uma análise filosófica das questões de compartilhamento e acesso à informação livre e um breve paralelo entre o Windows e o Linux. Diogo Souza De Oliveira, Tânia Diniz Ottoni Valias, Willy Gonçalves Lagoeiro RESUMO Abordando o conceito de software livre e sua história, o documentário Revolution OS nos mostra a trajetória da concepção em torno da consciência de liberdade através dos softwares, lidando com o desenvolvimento do sistema GNU/Linux. A partir da visão do documentário é possível estender esses enfoques para o mundo da universidade e abordá-los em níveis mais amplos. O Objetivo do grupo é utilizar-se das abordagens teóricas aprendidas no curso para analisar o documentário e assim apresentar a filosofia de compartilhamento e acesso à informação livre. PALAVRAS CHAVE: Linux, Windows, Compartilhamento. INTRODUÇÃO O documentário Revolution OS faz uma análise da evolução da filosofia dos sistemas operacionais com código aberto a partir do Movimento Software Livre, encabeçado por Richard Stallman, até o momento da criação do Linux, por Linus Torvalds, e sua difusão, contando com a participação de diversos nomes do mundo hacker, como Michael Tiemann, Larry Augustin, Eric S. Raymond, Bruce Perens, Frank Hecker e Behlendorf Brian. Através do embasamento teórico do documentário é possível analisar a questão da supremacia da Microsoft, principalmente, e abordar, em torno de tais críticas, o universo recente do Código Aberto, buscando destacar suas funcionalidades e desmistificar seu funcionamento.

  • Emil Jonathan P. Pandy EDUC 190 Reflection Paper 2008-21374/BSE CA-English Dec
    Emil Jonathan P. Pandy EDUC 190 Reflection Paper 2008-21374/BSE CA-English Dec. 5, 2011 Reaction Paper: Revolution OS Before having seen Revolution OS, I have always thought of Microsoft as the only computer- related company that is worth acknowledging. I have always felt that no other company can ever come close to them. Simply put, I was a Microsoft fanboy. However, after viewing the documentary narrating the history and evolution of GNU, Free Source Movement, Linux, and Open Source, my thoughts changed, my perceptions widened and I felt my blind loyalty falter a bit. The documentary was successful in portraying a rather colorful and eye-opening story of the people responsible for making Microsoft shake in its own shoes and feel, for the first time, worried. What I loved most about GNU's and Linux' history was how the people behind these companies, like Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds, were described as underdogs. Microsoft has always been a gargantuan company that seemed so far ahead, but the programmers and computer geniuses of GNU and Linux showed that they had the capacity and the capabilities of catching up. Microsoft was described as a company that preferred private ownership of software and of gaining money out of the distribution of their software. On the other hand, GNU believed in Free Software, which was more about having the freedom to share and change software within a community of users. The key word that appealed to me the most was 'share.' I understood that they weren't a Communist party as they weren't forcing anyone to share.

  • A Study of the Application of Free and Open Source Software Licensing Ideas to Art and Cultural Production
    Sandbox Culture A Study of the Application of Free and Open Source Software Licensing Ideas to Art and Cultural Production Aymeric Mansoux Supervisor: Matthew Fuller Thesis presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Cultural Studies, Goldsmiths, University of London, February 2017 I, Aymeric Mansoux, confirm that the work presented in this thesis ismy own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Date: February 19, 2017 Signed: Abstract In partial response to the inability of intellectual property laws to adapt to data-sharing over computer networks, several initiatives have proposed techno-legal alternatives to encourage the free circulation and transfor- mation of digital works. These alternatives have shaped part of contem- porary digital culture for more than three decades and are today often associated with the “free culture” movement. The different strands of this movement are essentially derived from a narrower concept of soft- ware freedom developed in the nineteen-eighties, and which is enforced within free and open source software communities. This principle was the first significant effort to articulate a reusable techno-legal template to work around the limitations of intellectual property laws. It also of- fered a vision of network culture where community participation and sharing was structural. From alternate tools and workflow systems, artist-run servers, net- work publishing experiments, open data and design lobbies, cooperative and collaborative frameworks, but also novel copyright licensing used by both non-profit organisations and for-profit corporations, the impact on cultural production of practices developed in relation to the ideas of iii free and open source software has been both influential and broadly ap- plied.

  • Lesson Plans
    Homebrew Letter Response Grade Levels: 4th – 8th Time Requirement: Approximately 20 minutes to prepare and 90 minutes to complete. Objectives: The student will: • After group discussion and individual writing, students will know the arguments for and against proprietary software. Activity Summary: Students read a letter that Bill Gates wrote to the editor of HomeBrew Magazine and write a response. In the process, they explore the question of whether software should be free or proprietary. New Mexico Standards: Modern, Classical and Native Languages Content Standards 1, 2, and 6 Social Science Benchmarks IV-A Materials: Chart paper and pens, copies of Gates’ letter in HomeBrew, paper and pencils. Background Information: During the 1970s, computer “hobbyist” clubs became established all over the country. In California, one such club, the “HomeBrew Computer Club,” was founded out of someone’s garage and soon became a popular hangout for young computer hobbyists to get together, trade ideas, and share inventions. These hobbyists were developing some important innovations. Some chose to capitalize on their innovations, while others felt strongly that innovations should be kept within a communal network of “hackers.” New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science All Rights Reserved 1/3 Procedures: 1. Prepare for this lesson by finding Bill Gates’ open letter in HomeBrew magazine at: http://www.digibarn.com/collections/newsletters/homebrew/V2_0 1/gatesletter.html 2. What is the Hacker Spirit? What is the Entrepreneurial Spirit? As a class, discuss what is meant by the phrase “Hacker Spirit” (joy of experimentation and innovation, the competitiveness with friends to build upon discoveries, the communal nature of dialogue).
